-- New York spent $22,366 per pupil at its public schools in 2016 -- 90
percent above the national average, the U.S. Census Bureau said Monday. New
York's spending on its schools per pupil has long led the nation, and
the gap continues to grow as the state has increased aid to schools by
36 percent since 2012. The average spending for all 50 states and
the District of Columbia increased by 3.2 percent to $11,762 during the
2016 fiscal year, the Census Bureau said. For New York, overall
spending increased 5.5 percent between 2015 and 2016 and grew 14 percent
since 2012 -- when it was $19,076. https://www.wgrz.com/mobile/article/news/education/new-yorks-school-spending-is-now-90-percent-above-the-national-average/71-556703967
